there's no reason to tell villagers they shouldn't be involved and trying to solve the game. Saying we should all just do what one or two cleared villagers want gives wolves too much room to just slide along

everyone gets a vote for a reason

I don't think evene's EOD is super villagery but I see the arguments.

How bout this....

bowens/slighted/vyk

for a wolf team?

They hardly interact with each other but when they do they are constantly defending each other as far as I can tell. I think they are worth a re-read considering they could be teammates.

Either way I still want to lynch bowens first

Ok, here's a good idea. People should provide their 3-person wolf teams. I will do work and try and figure this **** out. Obv people have their own votes and what-not but I want to figure this out and will do the work. So who's your wolf team?

bowens/slighted and iversonian for hail mary lost wolf pick?

really depends on what bowens' role is, cause if he's a wolf I think evene/supine are less likely and if he's a villager then they are definitely on the table. But he's my most likely wolf right now so I'm basing the group off of that

bowens

i like wn's case on him. but more than anything, he needs to be wagoned at some point to see how he responds.

is nobody pursuing the supine avenue anymore?

evene, why did you switch to supine at the end? did you really think you could get a cfd going in the last minute? it seemed like fake believaments of mac's claim, like, omg! if mac's not a wolf and i'm not a wolf, then we need a 3rd wagon.

ok, rant time. sort of. i was about orange on the BH meter last night. barely yellow today. but here goes.

steve:
Quote:
iver does need to show up especially since he said he earned the right to coast early because he owns late game
snide comments like this are not necessary. i even mentioned i'd miss most of sunday--after being on the thread till 5am questioning evene. it ****ing sucks how some guys can just be mechanically clear and be dicks to whomever they want and expect them to jump at attention. a weakness in my villa game is "respecting" mechanically clear villas too much and not just, how shall we say, speaking truth to power... which is coming below.

(vyk actually does the same thing, but when he does it it's almost endearing)

Quote:
Ok, I'm out...

Will not be back until EOD, I feel like people should take stock in what nofear & I have been suggesting as the only 2 clear villas in this game at this point.

Vote for mcavoy IMO
how's that been working so far? how bout we try a different strategy, like let's vote with the people who are solving this game. i was gonna say last night that i would rather vote with bsball than the cleards since he's more likely to bus a wolf if he is one than for our esteemed village leaders to find the real wolves. but the same comment is probably applicable to wn as well. let's hope he keeps putting in good work.

a note about mac. i had mixed feelings at eod. i thought he was villagery, and as i kept rereading stuff, that read was reinforced. but i hated to say so (yeah yeah, take it to post game), so i just made perfunctory remarks indicating my villa lean instead of pushing to save him. i can't say i was disappointed to see him lynched (you know why). he could have also been the LW, and i was concerned about how our meta could be manipulated. the upshot is, i was glad that he was lynched but also glad it wasn't by my hand. so i guess it's kinda hypocritical to criticize nofear & steve too much. but srsly though, despite his claimed efforts to be wolfy, wasn't it so obvious that he was a villager?

as for mechanical strategy, i made a note a few days ago about how if the wolves whiff a few times, we can get a lock win. it was a pretty optimistic scenario at the time, but here we are. (i'm almost certain the wolves are trying to bink the angel, btw, which i think is pretty dumb, but keep at it, wolves!). here's what i think should happen. if ever we mislynch and arrive at must lynch, the angel must claim as soon as the thread opens. it's super ballsy for a wolf to do that, he'd rather wait until he's wagoned to claim angel and then begin the thunderdome with his counterclaimant. whoever claims first will have way more credibility. and then we can just POE from the vanillas.

about LW hunting. since we have 3 PRs and 1 seer peeked villa (assuming nofear isn't a pr), the whole LW hunt thing may be moot in a couple days. i was getting mildly tilted having to respond to all those q's LW hunting me, and i didn't even get a chance to catch up completely before eod. all those who are not the LW need to cut this **** out. you notice how i'm not LW hunting even though all you could be the LW as well because it's a ******ed village strategy and a distraction at this point. if i get lynched this game, you're going to get mercilessly trolled by every villager, fyi.

also, this means i'm going to disregard nofear's argument on slighted for now, as it hinges entirely on him being the LW, as someone already mentioned.

Villager points for bowens is interesting. He desperately needs some. I would agree with giving him a couple.

I read mac horribly, but I don't think his EoD was especially wolfy, cos he was always between the two wolves, and I don't know which one would have been more important to save. The amount of bussing that was probably going on makes that EoD hard to analyse. If the wolves thought telc was peeked, then no one should get any special credit at all, unless the vote came before Jim said anything. Maybe Steve Y voted that early? He doesn't need the points though.

I feel like TN has not done anything villagery,and she went to the insanity wagon pretty readily (Bowens laid it out in detail). She gets no credit for voting Hifi earlier in the day (or later), because it seems like the wolves were perfectly ready to bus Hifi. She also got really defensive yesterday, and she did that as a wolf in the WSOWW game of hers I read.

I wish we had more kills, I would kill TN, bsball and McAvoy and then see where we stood.

Have you taken into account the hifi and telcontar spew when reading tweedy? They both pushed him. Do you think tweedy is a lost wolf, or a wolf-pack wolf?

If you're not a wolf, and Mac is not a wolf, who are the last 3 wolves?

Mine would be:

He didn't say anything all game about The Nothing until this post:




This looks wolfy to me because it so emphatic and derogatory. He is absolutely convinced. He hasn't been very involved in the game, and hasn't ever looked at her before but here he has no doubt whatsoever.




Still pushing, and wants people to remeber he made the case.






Again just pushing really hard.

I have seen wolves do this before. In the Sheep game, Crossnerd, LuckayLuck and Alrighty Roo bussed each other like crazy, and Roo got to f4. In the Apartments game, Wizard-50 used the same strategy to get to F3. What sticks out is that the level of certainty and the intensity of the push are way too high. I think bowens is a wolf.

vyk. this post doesn't make sense. the first sentence says "wn is playing well. i'm surprised he hasn't been nk'd (because of this)". the second says "they wolves ONLY RECENTLY got around to killing bsball (implying he's also a strong villager) so they're incompetent", but then why would you think he would be a mislynch, then?

So, what's really weird about this is that he changes votes for no reason. I mean complaining about VMF not liking the vote is not a reason to change votes. That is wolfy

But a villager should be voting someone because they want that person lynched, so someone disagreeing shouldn't be a reason to switch. It just reads like he realized he shouldn't vote the wolf vig but had no reason to really switch

It's very similar to how he reacts to bsball's pressure yesterday and switched back to mcavoy

2. i don't think i've been lazy. i've been ****ing busy. i need to re-evaluate what i can put into these games & stop playing so many at the same time. this is NOT an angleshoot or a "feel sorry for me" post at all. I'm being serious - this takes way too much from me and i can't keep doing it. sorry.

3. i have explained this situation. if you don't believe me, fine. I WANTED TO LYNCH HIFI BUT SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE VOTES WHEN I ENTERED THE THREAD. I wasn't "guessing" - it was questioning. I think that was a legitimate question. Cross was hedging and saying one or the other was the better vote. I wanted to know her thoughts on who was the wolf in her opinion. People keep saying I voted bc of Noah voting me. Um, he voted me already this game. And was on my ass. Why would i then go, oh ok noah, i'll vote with you.

4. HELLO?! at the time of that post, Jim was NOT voting Telco. Jim and Cross were both on Insanity! I wanted MY hifi lynch to work!

5. Yes I moved back. I trusted Jim and Cross. I totally sponged this. TOTALLY.

6. YES I WAS. HERE ARE MY POSTS ABOUT HER!



















AT THIS TIME, HIFI WAS NOT TOP 3 - I THOUGHT SHE WOULD NOT GET VOTES SO I MOVED ON TO SOMEONE ELSE.









and FINALLY, my vote on Hifi was warranted bc she had enough votes to go.

7. this is complete bull****. i don't disappear. if i'm not around, it's because i have something to do or someone to be with. didn't i show up & talk to nofear and vagos about my EOD?




i guess the correct play here is to call bowens a wolf but i've been making the wrong play the entire game so i won't. i'm going to do some reading of mac and bsball. bsball feeling an awful lot like the last game i played with him and he was wolf. mac is mac and hard to read.

HEY GUESS WHAT - I'M GONNA BE GONE FOR A WHILE. WONDER IF I'M HIDING???
